The Verilux VT20WW1 HappyLight Liberty Natural Spectrum Light is the ideal solution to help you get through the winter blues and start feeling happy again. The winter blues are something that hits most of us at one time or another, especially with the long and dreary winters of recent years.

According to National Institute of Health research, white light in settings up to 10,000 LUX – settings offered by this model – was very effective in helping users have more energy, feel more cheerful and have an overall better outlook. A bonus with this light is that it doesn’t cost a fortune. It has interchangeable lenses, various settings and a tilt feature for extra comfort and flexibility. The Verilux also offers you the option of setting it on a table or mounting it on a wall.

Where to Buy

I strongly recommend buying this product from Amazon.com for several reasons. The price is substantially less than you’ll find on other online retail sites. Amazon.com offers free shipping that’s also extremely fast. If you have any questions, Amazon’s fantastic customer service is always available and happy to help. There are more than 120 customer reviews, which indicate that many people have also purchased from Amazon.

Best for Who?

This particular product is a good solution for those who don’t get enough light due to work schedules such as night shift workers. It’s also perfect for those who just, for one reason or another, can’t seem to get outside in the sun as often as they’d like. Those who find it particularly beneficial are those who live in areas that have long, dreary and cold winters and need help getting through the winter depression that often sets it. The portability of the Verilux VT20WW1 HappyLight makes it easy to move from room to room or even take along on vacation.

How is it Supposed to Be Used?

Although you may want to find a schedule that works best for you, it’s recommended that you use the light regularly and preferably at the same time every day. Rather than sit in front of the light continuously, you can schedule several small mini-sessions throughout the day.

If you find yourself feeling lazy and depressed, you can sit in front of the light for a little while or increase the setting to provide yourself with more light. After you use it for a little while, you’ll be better able to determine the distance and times you need to use for the best effect.

User Reviews

“It makes me feel more wide awake and alert with a better mood and more energy.”
“The fact that it’s a spectrum allows me to use it for work and purposes other than just a mood enhancer.”

Cons

“Simple operation but bulbs are too pricey.”
“Although useful in the dark months, the lamp is very small and the blue light is not really easy to work by.”
